Has anyone in analyzed their logs to check the % of non-referrer image requests to fuskered objects vs. non-fuskered images?
I suppose that if I see a real impact from fusker I could use the same software I use for protecting my wmv files to insure that only surfers that have hit some html on the my domain in the last X minutes can get at my images, but I haven't tried it yet for fear of causing problems for surfers, reviewers and tgp scripts that might be using multiple proxies. Are any gallery/freesite builders using the antithotlinking.com product to protect images as well as movies?
Regarding paysites that don't mind fusker traffic: I suspect that if sites can make money giving away watermarked images on Usenet that they can also make some money from watermarked images on fusker, although unlike Usenet the paysite would end up footing the bill for the bandwidth.
